For this is how in the past, the holy women who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands.
1 Peter 3:5 in context
- 3Whose adorning let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;
- 4but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
- 5For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
- 6as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
- 7Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.
